Its a good point, but lets assume that this AI is already past its infancy and that there is no limit to the information stored inside the box. For example the NSA has a nice little closed training ground containing all of the internet, lets give it that. I would assume it has access everything humans have ever committed to digital format up until it was turned on, plenty of info for Johnny 5 to form an opinion on humans and their weaknesses.
I am not arguing against competition, I am saying it would be nice if all these cars inter-operated seamlessly, co-ordinating with eachother or centrally rather than each car having a different set of parameters trying to figure every other car out on the fly.
If the goal is safety then a wild west with every company setting standards for their own projects isn't going to be the best approach. If the goal is profit then Yee-Haa let the gold rush begin!
Ugh, this article sounds like the Lexus brand trying to latch on to the google self-driving hype train. Hey guys we are making a cool car too!
On a more important note: do we really want all the different tech companies and car manufacturers competing to build separate driverless software and standards? Looking at how well that worked out for online maps, doesn't make me feel safer.
Yeah CoffeeScript is pretty easy to learn and doing things like configuring snippets seems like a good use for it.
In general tho, I am pretty hesitant to go all in with CoffeeScript, mainly because you still have to watch and massage the javascript output, negating any time saved for me at least.
Yeah I have had several problems working with .svg in illustrator, the biggest one being wacky arbatray resizing of the document bounds when I try to open and edit an .svg. I was forced to export off a master .ai file rather than re-edit native .svg, a pain in the arse!
The workaround I use is opening the .svg in a text editor and editing the properties manually, you can clear out a bunch of adobe auto generated garbage and get the file nice and small.
I just watched this GSS intro talk from last year:

It looks interesting, but obviously from this and the demo page it needs alot of work to be ready for the mass market.
One piece of advice for Dan if you are reading HN, you have a nice relaxed speaking style but please stop using the word "crazy" or "it gets pretty crazy" which for me at least parses as: "too complex to work with".
It takes courage to admit that you are in the dirty default club, good on him. I am in the default club too, here's why:
In my country the two options after highschool were either to pay through the nose in student fees or not get an education, wind up in a shitty job. I chose the third way of taking the loan, getting a first class education then living in exile.
The baby boomers got a pretty sweet deal when it was their time to be educated but I don't think there is a great conspiracy to defraud our generation. There is however defiantly a rampant political shortsightedness as evidenced by many nations de-prioritizing education so as not to piss off retiree voters. When a such a large generation votes along self interested lines the resulting society is obviously warped to meet their needs, which aren't necessary the needs of the nation at large. I bet the current gilded era of retirement will be long gone before we get there.
Education is of immeasurable value to both the individual and to society, politicians are blind if they cant see that. I agree with the spirit of this article; that it's up to us to educate ourselves by any means necessary.
